Naruto: All depends on Kyuubi C

Sasuke stood up, took out a kunai, and held it very seriously in his hand.

"Naruto's kunai is the first kunai that changed my destiny."

Adult Sasuke could see clearly that it was a kunai with a mark on it.

In previous exchanges, Sasuke also said that on this night of genocide in time and space, the survivors of the Uchiha clan were saved because of the Fourth Hokage, Namifeng Shuimon and Kurama.

But equally, it can also be attributed to being saved because of Naruto.

"This kunai not only reminds me of this kindness, but also makes me deeply realize that if I want to protect something, I must have power."

Sasuke's eyes were soft and firm, "At that time, it was not the Yondaime Hokage or the Nine Lamas who could have prevented the tragedy. It was only Naruto or me who could have prevented the tragedy. Even if we had the awareness of death, it would be useless..."

"And after that, I witnessed that guy Naruto showing extraordinary strength to solve problems. Neji's caged bird, capturing the Akatsuki organization, and even this Chunin exam..."

"He's always been so nosy and has the ability to do it."

The adult Sasuke listened and sighed: "...In my time and space, he was like this too. He may not have done as well as Naruto in your time and space, but he has achieved the limit of what he can do."

"But unlike me now, you two always fight side by side when facing powerful enemies."

There seemed to be a hint of yearning in Sasuke's tone. He turned his gaze to himself in another time and space, and suddenly the topic changed: "You said you already have a new family, a daughter and a wife, right?"

"......Um."

"Do you love them?"

It seemed like it was a question that caught him off guard. The adult Sasuke paused, as if he wanted to answer silently like before.

But Sasuke's eyes did not move away this time. He stared at himself in another time and space to answer.

"...I love them."

This is not a lie.

No matter who Sasuke is, he knows this fact.

But when the adult Sasuke said this answer, the face of Sasuke in this time and space was full of disappointment.

"Then...why don't you recover your arm? Is the so-called atonement more important than having the strength to protect your cherished family?"

The adult Sasuke's expression, which had been somewhat soft due to talking about his family, froze, and he subconsciously touched his empty left arm.

It was obviously his younger self, but the adult Sasuke felt as if he had been penetrated by the other person, and he finally understood the source of the other person's disgust that didn't seem to be fake.

What he had always cared about turned out to be this...

Unable to answer, Uchiha Sasuke once again chose silence.

Because he understood that what the other party said was something he could not refute.

He could tell countless reasons why he didn't recover his arm, such as atonement, habit, no influence, etc., but he couldn't lie to himself - since then, he had lost the desire to pursue power.

He can fight tooth and nail to protect his family and companions, but...

He had to admit that he didn't take his life very seriously now.

"Let's go."

Seeing the other person's expression, Sasuke said no more.

After removing the Tsukiyomi barrier, the surrounding scene once again returned to Nanga Shrine, where the Uchiha clan gathers.

Adult Sasuke suddenly spoke: "Can you tell me what you want to do?"

"...I don't know. Anyway, let's catch up with that guy first, otherwise everything will be false. I am one of the protected ones after all..." Sasuke waved his hand, "Don't pay too much attention to me. Speaking of which, maybe I just feel a little self-loathing about myself because I have been left behind by Naruto."

"Of course, you are me too, so it's normal for me to hate you too."

Listening to these words, adult Sasuke suddenly realized why no matter it was Naruto, Sakura or Sarana, they all said that they were not very good at comforting people.

Even when I listen to myself speaking, I don’t think it sounds good.

But he is much better than his former self.

It doesn't mean strength.

-----------------

The adult Sasuke couldn't help but recall that in the Valley of the End, he kept yelling at the figure that never fell down: "How many times, how many times, what the hell are you! Just go to hell!"

"It can't be done, because we are friends... Because I am the only one, so I can't let you be alone..." He said, bruised and bruised, without wavering.

-----------------

"I'm not the one being protected." Adult Sasuke grabbed the sleeve of his left hand and shook his head with a wry smile.

But suddenly he seemed to notice something and let out a light sigh.

And Sasuke also noticed that the adult Sasuke behind him stopped and turned to look.

But he saw his adult self standing in front of the stone tablet and staring at it.

"what happened?"

Sasuke looked at him and saw that he had activated the Mangekyo Sharingan and revealed the Rinnegan.

"There's something wrong with this stone tablet."

"Of course there is a problem. I already know that the content of this stone tablet has been tampered with..."

"No!" Adult Sasuke shook his head, "Hei Zetsu said back then that the content he modified should be to deceive people who saw this stone tablet. Infinite Tsukuyomi is the key to saving everything."

"But now, there is a little more content on this stone tablet... Tailed beasts cannot be collected, and tailed beasts cannot be allowed to come into contact with them. The tailed beasts will be controlled..."

Looking at the content on the stone tablet, the adult Sasuke frowned deeply. He once returned to Nanga Shrine to see the modified stone tablet, and revised it to the correct content to avoid affecting future generations——

He was very sure that there was no such content on his time and space tablet!

"The stone tablet has been modified twice. Who else has been here after the night of genocide?"

Adult Sasuke turned to Sasuke and asked.

Sasuke was shocked. Previously, he wanted to confirm the stone tablet in person after the Mangekyō Sharingan was opened. Later, after learning the truth from Naruto, he no longer cared about it.

He also opened his separate Mangekyō Sharingan, and then did see what the adult Sasuke said.

He suddenly recalled that the last time he appeared here was because of the ANBU whose consciousness had been modified——

"...Is this...left by Uchiha Shisui?"

In the forest of death.

Senju Hashirama looked at his masterpiece in front of him with satisfaction. There were still several "big rice dumplings" wrapped in wood in the Death Forest, and there was still a little tailed beast chakra aura leaking out of them.

This is a trap they made. Senju Hashirama will be stationed in the Forest of Death throughout the entire journey, because Tobirama judges that if Otsutsuki is really arrogant, he has reason to believe that the wait-and-see tactic will achieve value.

Afterwards, Senju Hashirama, who had arranged everything, looked up for a long time and was very satisfied with his work.

But satisfaction comes and goes. No matter how good the work is, it must be appreciated by someone.

Hashirama soon realized a very important thing - he had to stay here to guard him for safety reasons. If Otsutsuki didn't come, it seemed that he would have nothing to do!

Isn't that boring?

But how can it be so difficult to defeat the First Hokage, the God of Ninja, Senju Hashirama-sama!

Hashirama quickly clapped his hands, and a wooden tabletop rose from the ground.Then he separated two wooden escape clones, made a few chips with kunai, and began to entertain himself and gamble.

"Well, after all, I have only been repelled once before. Even if I am fooled in a short time, it will not be that...quick..."

Hashirama was just getting ready to play the 'everyone knows the trump card' card game with his Wood Release clone when suddenly he looked startled and watched as a black alien space was torn open from the air, and a light blue long figure came out of it. A man with pale hair.

There is a red fish basket hanging on his waist, a red fishing rod in his hand, and he is wearing a white robe...

It completely matches the previous adult Sasuke's description of the Otsutsuki Ura style!
